TexMex Vegan Tacos with Pickled Cabbage
Can you believe I’d never cooked TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) before making this recipe? Honestly, I don’t know why I waited so long, it’s such a fun and convenient plant-based protein! Bonus points for Grounded‘s plant-based protein, which comes in a variety of flavours, including TexMex, which I used for my recipe! It makes things even easier and the result is really great!
This was the last recipe of my collaboration with Aliments du Québec for the winter and I’m really happy to have discovered and promoted such wonderful companies!
